A great bargain.

Not sure about this, also from jpc.de - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...t/hnum/6424111

Some unusual material in there. Joshua Bell and others.

I see what you mean, Dave. I think for anyone wanting an "instant" collection of very well played Violin "classics" (most of the "main names" 18th & 19thC solo concertos, except the Brahms and Bruch) a good smattering of Chamber works, some unusual repertoire from the 20thC, and plenty of "lollipops" - all at around £1.50 a disc - it's a very attractive package. Good spot

jpc also has Simone Young’s Hamburg cycle for €24.99 (includes symphony no 0 and the Youth Symphony). Single discs were issued as SACD’s. This box is not SACD just the usual audio quality.

Eager to acquire a 9CD set, Fritz Busch at Glyndebourne; Figaro, Don Giovanni. Cosi fan Tutte, and Idomeneo, available from the river people at £15 04! I've misplaced several of the cherished sets over the years and always long for them when I revisit two biographies; Moran Caplat's, Dinghies to Divas, Collins, 1985 & Fifty Years of Glyndebourne, John Julius Norwich, Jonathan Cape, 1985. So many personalities including John Christie, Rudolph Bing, Beecham, Gui, Birgit Nilsson, Audrey Christie, Hugues Cuenod, George Solti, Carl Ebert etc.

Thanks for drawing attention. Despite trying to rein in my acquisition of box sets, I'm sorely tempted. I was prompted to read around a bit. I found a very interesting article on a German site (operalounge) with a review, photos and background details, eg, the author expresses bafflement at the engagement at Glyndebourne of Willi Domgraf Fassbaender, who had joined the Nazi Party in 1933. I was unaware of this latter fact.

News to me, too.

Another skiing aficionado, no doubt!

Ooh, many thanks - duly ordered (some duplication in the concertos, but lots of chamber music performances I don't have).

That really IS a bargain - and should be in every baroque lover's library.

My order from amazon.de has just been dispatched from, you guessed it, Dunfermline.
